VANCOUVER - A split-second decision. Chris Young Jersey . A fluttering penalty flag. Lives changed.The Ticats had plenty of chances to win the 102nd Grey Cup on Sunday. But people will point to the illegal block by Hamilton linebacker Taylor Reed that negated a 90-yard Brandon Banks punt return with just 35 seconds remaining as the turning point.The electric return would have put the Ticats ahead. Instead they lost 20-16 to the Calgary Stampeders, feeling the pain of a Grey Cup defeat for a second year in a row.Asked about the key play, Hamilton coach Kent Austin stopped just short of pointing the finger at the officials. Instead he managed to talk in pointed generalities, saying he was on record on what needs to be done to improve a lot of areas in this league. And I will take it up behind the scenes.But it can get a lot better in a lot of different areas, he added. We can get better as a league. We can. And we should, we need to.It changes lives. Its importantBanks wasnt talking. Wearing gold headphones around is neck, he stormed out of the Hamilton locker-room as the media waited to get in. Several reporters tried to get a comment, but he kept moving. He just looked back and said: I aint talking to nobody.A free agent, the five-foot-seven 149-pounders future is up in the air.It marked the second week in a row Banks had had a punt return for touchdown called back. The difference was that last week he ran two more in during a 40-24 win over the Montreal Alouettes in the Eastern final.Reed, to his credit, faced the music.I didnt make my block, he said. I made it close enough that they called a penalty on it. Thats 100 per cent my fault.Ive got to be better than that, he added.The block came just feet from Banks at the Hamilton 20-yard line, although it seems unlikely Calgary linebacker Karl McCarthey would have laid a hand on the speedy kick returner. Reed appears to get one hand on the shoulder and the other on the back, sending the Stampeder flying.McCarthey got up, his hands raised in the air looking for the flag.There was sympathy from Stamps star running back Jon Cornish.Brandon Banks, an amazing returner, but youre depending on your blockers, and when your blocker doesnt block correctly it sucks, he said. Its one of the worst feelings, because I know it firsthand.It would have changed the game â€” won the game for them ... but it didnt, he added.Asked again about the play, Austin said he couldnt comment.You know I cant answer that. And quite frankly Im not in a position right now to answer that. Thats the honest truth. I have to look at the play. I havent reviewed it. I havent looked at it on film.But I know a lot of things happen on special teams in this league. A lot of things. Some get called, some dont get called. Almost every single play on special teams, a lot of stuff happen. I will say that. Austin also gave credit to Calgary and said his team didnt make enough plays. It needed to get better. But he said the loss will haunt him.It will stay with me the rest of my life. For the rest of my life. Just like last year, he said. I hate losing. Just like everybody in that locker-room.The Hamilton dressing-room was like a funeral home. A feisty one. One player, his language blue, yelled at a cameraman to get his lens away, cursing. A teammate quickly told him to dial it down.There was shock and pain. For a time, the Ticats had seemed like the team of destiny after rebounding from a 1-6 start to finish first in the East with a 9-9 record.They outscored Calgary 9-3 in a second half that saw the Stamps defence bend but did not break.To lose like that after thinking we won was very tough. Shattering, said Hamilton offensive lineman Peter Dyakowski.Knowing that all we needed was one play. And then not getting that one play was really tough, he added.Quarterback Zach Collaros got stronger as the game wore on, using his mobility to keep plays alive as Stampeders swarmed him.I dont think we played a bad game, he said. We just didnt score the touchdowns.Austin shared his players hurt. But he saw the bigger picture.Sometimes things dont work out. Welcome to the game of life, said Austin. Its not always going to go our way.___Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Kurt Suzuki Jersey .

North Dakota States reign as the three-time FCS national champion was pushed to the limit by South Dakota State on Saturday, but freshman R.ST. LOUIS -- Travis Wood made a beeline for fellow pitcher Jeff Samardzijas locker. He wanted to apologize for all of that run support. "I instantly came in here and gave him a hug and said sorry," the lefty said after the Chicago Cubs got six RBIs from Junior Lake in a 17-5 rout over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. "The offence played great, they brought their A game." Samardzija has a 1.45 ERA, but is 0-3. The Cubs have totalled 15 runs in his eight starts. Lake homered and doubled twice for Chicago, which had lost seven of eight overall. The Cubs totalled just four runs while getting swept in a three-game series at Atlanta over the weekend -- Emilio Bonifacio scored five times himself in this romp. "Thats what we needed," Lake said. "Just play hard and something happened good." Chicago has the worst record in the league at 13-24, but is 4-3 against the defending NL champions. The Cardinals were forced to finish with infielder Daniel Descalso as a relief pitcher getting the final out in the ninth. Its the first time St. Louis used a position player to pitch since Rob Johnson against the Dodgers in a 13-4 loss at home Aug. 7. "Its embarrassing to have to put him into that spot," manager Mike Matheny said. "Hes a team guy and understands, but should have never been in that spot to begin with." "Its tough for all of us to watch." The Cubs hit for the cycle in the first five batters -- Bonifacio doubled, Anthony Rizzo singled, Starlin Castro tripled and Mike Olts two-run homer capped a four-run first inning. Bonifacio had four of Chicagos 20 hits and scored a career-best five times -- the most in the majors this season -- once on a play overturned by video review. Rizzo and Castro each drove in three as the Cubs set season highs for runs and hits. Cardinals reliever Randy Choate gave up a career-worst six runs in the ninth and left with two outs. Descalso made his first pro pitching appearance and retired the only batter he faced, getting Oltt on a fly ball. Ervin Santana Jersey. "I just went out there and did what they asked me to do," Descalso said. "I really dont want to talk about this." Wood (3-4) beat St. Louis for the second time in three starts despite giving up five runs in six innings. He hit two batters in the fifth and both scored. Tyler Lyons (0-3) surrendered nine runs in four innings in his fourth start in place of injured Joe Kelly. "I felt a lot better the first two innings than I did in the third and fourth," Lyons said. "Its just one of those things. Sometimes you just get hit, I guess." Allen Craig drove in two runs for the Cardinals. Yadier Molina had two hits, an RBI and a steal when he caught Wood napping in the fifth and took third without a throw. Lake hit a three-run homer in the second for a 7-0 lead. He had an RBI double in the fourth and a two-run double in the ninth. Lake began the game with eight RBIs in 92 at-bats this season. Three of his four homers have come against the Cardinals. "Hes electric, for sure," Wood said. "When hes on, hes on. Hes got tremendous pop and nice to see it come out." Olt leads NL with eight homers, including four in the last six games, all on the road. In the fourth, Bonifacio was called out at the plate when he tried to score on Rizzos grounder to short with the infield in. The Cubs challenged the call, and the ruled was reversed. NOTES: The Cubs previous bests for runs and hits came at Comiskey Park on Thursday when they scored 12 runs on 15 hits against the White Sox. ... Bonifacio is the first Cubs player to score five runs since Jody Davis in 1987. ... Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright (6-2, 4.75) opposes Jake Arrieta (0-0, 2.89) in the second game of a four-game set. Wainwright is 9-7 for his career against Chicago but just 3-6 with a 4.83 ERA at home, and is coming off his first career loss at Wrigley Field on May 2. ...
